Subject: [Healeys] Alternators

Listers :

I installed an alternator a few years ago. I=92ve had very few if any probl=
ems until I needed to upgrade the unit.

In the past year I have gone through two internal regulators.  I have had i=
t rebuilt by a knowledgeable mechanic. With the last rebuild the internal r=
egulator installed did not need the wire that has gone to the old voltage r=
egulator mounted on the fire wall. I=92ve been told the purpose of that wir=
e is now internal within the new regulator.

The old voltage regulator has been striped of parts and is now just =93deco=
ration.=94  It seems logical that if the internal bits can do the job, the =
old wire is 1 not an asset to the system and 2 could cause some unexpected =
issues. Removing it should be a good move.

As you can tell, my knowledge of alternators is very limited. I hope that s=
omeone out there can reassure me that it=92s okay to remove the wire or gui=
dance on what to do next. I am waiting to start the car until I=92m comfort=
able with the way the alternator is wired.

Thank you for any thoughts you have.
